Devil’s Son-in-Law

o looking out for her.
But is Delia happy?”

Chen Rui was shocked.
Since the battle in the underground world of Mountain Xilang, he never wanted Athena to face danger again, but he had not thought about it from her perspective.

“I know it’s a bit selfish to say this.
Your wisdom is amazing.
My father was amazed by your plans and calculations.
I won’t destroy your plans or become your burden.” Tears sparkled at the corner of Athena’s eyes.
“I just want to connect my life with you.
I want to face life and death with you even if I am not by your side.”

Chen Rui stared at the beloved woman in front of him.
She was still persistent even when in tears.

He recalled the scene of Mountain Xilang when facing Glorfin.
She turned into her demonic form; her whole body was burning a fiery flame of life.

“But I still love you.
It’s not like, but love.”

“Maybe we will meet again in a certain hell like the story you told me.
No matter what, don’t forget me!”

This sentiment of living and dying together had been deeply engulfed in their souls.
Even if it was the last moment of dying, it would not disappear.

Chen Rui’s eyes were a little wet.
He held her face, gazing affectionately at the crystal red eyes as if they were the most precious gem in the world, “Athena, I have a few questions.
If I don’t have a house, car and money, would you still accept my gaze?”

“Of course.” Athena replied, feeling a little strange.
If there is no house, can’t we build it together? Just like the cozy cottage in the Mountain Xilang green leaves forest.
Although it is simple, it is more cozy than all the luxurious and spacious houses I used to live in.
Car… Is it a luxury carriage? What else can you do with it besides showing off? As for the money… It’s fine as long as it’s enough to spend.
I don’t like any special luxury goods anyway.
Sometimes, he just buys me ordinary clothes, and it is enough for me to be happy for a long time.

“What if I don’t have the power?”

Athena blushed, “Actually… you had stolen my heart back at the black rainforest.
At that time, you were just a powerless human; at least that was what you showed me.”

Chen Rui straightened up and said solemnly to Athena, “So, the last question.
Miss Athena, regardless through poverty, sickness or death, are you willing to stay with this man for a lifetime?”

Athena suddenly understood what happened.
The hand she held started trembling out of nervousness.
She said firmly, “I do, regardless of poverty, sickness or death.”

Chen Rui felt warm in his heart.
Suddenly, he knelt down on one knee and put a magic ring on her ring finger on her left hand, “This is an ancient custom, which means… even if you want to back out in the future, I will snatch you back shamelessly… Although it is quite sudden, take this magic ring, which I made by myself, as a promise in advance.
When the time is right in the future, we will have a grand ceremony that will be memorable for life.”

After he finished, he added another sentence, “This is the deepest bond and the best symbiotic contract.”

Athena’s heart was instantly filled with great happiness and surprise.
Tears raced down her cheeks again.
This time it was a sweet taste.
Their lips and tongue were tightly intertwined, just like their two hearts.

After the affectionate kiss, the emotional couple almost couldn’t control it.
Fortunately, Chen Rui finally restrained the desire in his heart.
After all, Athena’s 20th birthday hadn’t arrived yet.
He couldn’t ruin her best chance to advance to the Great Demon King because of his impulsive action.

After calming down for a moment, Athena’s low voice sounded, “During your trip to the Dark Shadow Empire this time… Did you meet her?”

“I met her once only.” Chen Rui didn’t want to reveal Christina’s identity.
He just said that he met her at the palace before going to the Crystal Valley.

“Oh.” Athena didn’t probe further.
It was as if she was just asking casually, so it was enough to hear an answer.
But Chen Rui still heard the “dissatisfaction” in between her lines.
I remember that this heroine once vowed solemnly to promise that she will not be jealous.
She agreed to accept Christina as well as the little princess and Kia, but now…

“Don’t think too much,” Chen Rui shook his head and said, “Actually, it’s hard for me and her… to have any results.”

Athena was jealous when she talked about Christina just now, but suddenly there was a feeling of guilt again now.
She felt like she was really a narrow-minded jealous woman.
After all, even a self-disciplined person like her father had twelve wives.
In comparison, Chen Rui indeed had so much less.
She immediately added, “By the way, Kia… is very pitiful.
When she and Princess Royal return from the White Feather Estate, let her come back to stay here.”

Chen Rui glanced at her in surprise, He felt guilty thinking that he had “provoked” other women even after having Athena.
But at this point, it would certainly be impossible to abandon Kia.
Fortunately, Athena had included Kia in the acceptable “inside” personnel; thanks to the Demon Realm environment.

He was smart enough not to say much about this matter.
He asked a question to change the topic, “What’s the matter with the White Feather Estate?”

Athena’s answer caused Chen Rui to frown.
Dark Moon, Red Spirit, White Feather and Blue Lava were the four major estates of the Fallen Angel Empire.
White Feather Lord, Sicali, was an admirer of Princess Royal.
He was also the biggest lord supporter of Dark Moon.
This time, he invited Princess Royal to the estate for an official visit.
One purpose was to show the attitude of White Feather to the capital, while the other was to give some assistance to the capital’s sanctions.

Chen Rui knew about White Feather Estate, but he didn’t know that Lord Sicali was actually an admirer of Shea.
Chen Rui and Shea had a blurry relationship which was inclined toward a flirtatious feeling.
Hence, when he heard of this now, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Athena had always misunderstood the relationship between Chen Rui and Shea, but she did not notice his slight emotional fluctuation at the moment.
She just sighed, “Princess Royal does not know about Kia’s matter.
In order to prevent her from taking the opportunity to do mischief in the estate, Shea specially took her to White Feather Estate.
The affairs in the estate are handled by Old Gauss, Old Ford of Saiful Family and me.
Your method is very effective.
After the guards have undergone special training, they have eliminated several bandits.
It is a remarkable change.
The recruitment went smoothly too.
It’s just that… some guys with excess energy will cause trouble from time to time.
They even had a conflict with the imperial guards not long ago.”

Chen Rui noticed her tiredness when she came back today.
He felt sorry for her and hugged her tightly.
“I’m sorry that I made you overworked.”

Athena shook her head, “I’m happy to be able to help you.
Plus, I grew up in a barrack since I was a kid.
I like that kind of atmosphere.”

“Excess energy?” Chen Rui thought for a while.
“Relax, I’ll find a solution.”

“En…” Athena moved comfortably on his chest.
There were plenty more trivial troubles.
But as soon as her man came back, it was like she had a backbone.
The complicated things became simple.

This Sicali didn’t seem like a good guy ?… Would he bring surprise or disaster to the Dark Moon?
